With 200 market stalls expected, foodies can look forward to the return of Christmas staples such as the iconic Yorkshire pudding wraps and traditional German sausages.

The markets will also host an impressive list of international food options featuring the likes of French, Turkish and Austrian cuisine.

The popular ice rink is also set to return to its usual spot outside the National Football Musuem. 

The rink will have a fully covered roof to allow skaters to chance their luck no matter the weather, and lessons and skating aids will be also be available. 

The market is set to open on 8 November and will run until 22 December.
